A CCTV drain survey sends a high-definition camera through your drainage system to diagnose cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, bellied sections and blockages — without any excavation. In the Swindon area surveys start from around £180, and a pre-purchase survey typically costs £180–£350 depending on the size of the property and drainage network. The survey usually takes one to two hours and includes the inspection, recorded HD footage and a written report with annotated screenshots and a condition grade for each pipe section. Because standard homebuyer surveys exclude drainage, a CCTV survey is the only reliable way to see the hidden condition of the pipes before you commit. The report is accepted by solicitors for conveyancing and can be shared with your surveyor, lender or insurer to support repair negotiations.
